© 2019 Elsevier Ltd A nanobiosensor was developed for the electrochemical detection of Phytophthora palmivora, a notorious pathogen of cacao causing severe crop loss. Sandwich hybrids between two oligonucleotide probes and the genomic DNA of P. palmivora were prepared and electrochemically detected....
